HMS Ocean to be scrapped

So what your proposin?
Keep ocean for commando and other reasons, scrap tornados, scrap buying f-35c's, put EMALS onto carriers, buy cheap f18's, Hawkeyes and ASW planes for carriers, develop naval UAV's.
Keep previous frigate buying numbers to protect carriers.
Buy the Poseidens as the nimrods are now razor blades.

Don't use PFI deals, ever again.
Slap whomever got rid of harriers.

And that's just for starters.
 
At the very least it needs to hang on until the HM QE carrier is operational - I suspect at that point Ocean will be surplus to requirements

except that will deprive Gideon of money for his smoke and mirrors autumn statement - good idea but can't be done mate. They would rather put defence on the line - Gideon is already missing all his targets as it stands and he wants to persuade the electorate he is worthy of the top job in 2020 - he'd rather risk defence of the realm than his own chances any more...............

Small correction but it's the f35b we are buying and it will be a brilliant fighter jet for the next few decades.

at the rate he is missing targets Gideon will be looking to see if there are any surplus Seafires and Swordfish aircraft anywhere in the world we can buy cheap for the new carriers - sorry carrier as one is being built especially not to be used ffs........

Now you're talking! I believe the Japanese have some surplus Zero fighters available, and arrangements are being made to upgrade them with sat navs at the Nissan factory in Sunderland.
 
Why the fuck would something be given a £65m overhaul then to scrap it 2 years later? Great this conservative government aren't they.

The reason is that it is public money and public money can be pissed up the wall by any government - any amount, at any time! That's why they are MPs! MP Mission Statement: To piss public money up the nearest wall.
